When Star Wars: The Old Republic: Onslaught arrives later this year, BioWare will be tossing out the old gearing system that’s been in place for several years now to replace it with a (hopefully) better system called Spoils of War.
In a recent developer livestream, the studio explained how this system will learn from the mistakes of Galactic Command and Ossus gearing to offer “true depth and choice” for players. The key element for this is to allow acquisition of build-defining gear by “playing your way” and protecting gamers from the ire of the RNG. Galactic Command will still be present in Onslaught but demoted to a “supplementary system.”
For the time being, SWTOR fans can busy themselves with the new Pirate Incursion event on Dantooine. This public event boasts many tempting rewards to attain, such as a disgruntled Ugnaught companion named Vrik and Dantooine-themed stronghold decorations.
